The following formula works great for E2 but fails to display "Incomplete" if F2 is blank.
The formula is in cell K2.![]()

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it works fine for me:
E F J K L 2K2: =IF(J2="","",IF(ISBLANK(E2),"Incomplete",IF(ISBLANK(F2),"Incomplete",""))) 3 x Incomplete 4 x 5 x x Incomplete 6 x 7 x x Incomplete 8 x x 9 x x x

Copied "as is" and it works![]()
Is there a formula in F2?
Ben Van Johnson
May be just
=IF(J2="","",IF(E2="","Incomplete",IF(F2="","Incomplete","")))
="" is empty string but not blank
blank = null
E2 and F2 each have date and time - no formulas.
I've tried deleting cell K2 and even deleting all of Column K and starting over. For some reason the formula isn't working for F2.
J2 has this formula :Is this causing the issue ?![]()

Root:
Your formula gives the same result here ... F2 blank doesn't cause Incomplete to show.
.
Here is the workbook :
Due to the formula in J2, if F2 is blank, then J2 is blank ( "" ).
Then the formula in H2 returns "" because =IF(J2="" is true.
Through a chain of formulas in your workbook, J2="" when F2="". Thus, no "Incomplete".
.
How do I edit the formula so K2 remains blank if there is nothing to 'compute' and still track if E2 or F2 is blank and show INCOMPLETE ?
The other formulas cause J2 to be a null string when F2 is blank, which triggers causes the first IF to evaluate true.
Evaluate formula in steps
IF(""="","" ......
Maybe test F2 first...
.
Thisresults in the infamous #VALUE error.![]()

Tried changing around E2 and F2 (which gets tested first) ... no go.

This formula :dragged down the column results in this :![]()

That is the part I'm trying to avoid.
Try
=IF(OR(E2="",F2=""),"Incomplete","")
.
This worked !Does anyone see any potential issues with it ?![]()

Ok, to prevent the incomplete filling the column..
=IF(B2="","",IF(OR(E2="",F2=""),"Incomplete",""))
.
Jonmo1:
Your last works great also !
